For years my favorite Welsh girl's name was Angharad. But lately Myfanwy has been giving her a run for her money. Glynis is a close third place. As for boys, I heard the name Maldwyn the other day and I'm besotted.
From your lists, I love Bronwen (kudos for using the female "-en" ending), Llewellyn, Nerys, and Olwen. Teagan is an English version of an Irish name, by the way. Mariwen is new to me -- is that a typo for Mairwen? I like Mairwen.
